_Modifying clauses_ show adjective and adverbial constructions.
Thus:--
1. Adjective: [The house _which you see_ is mine].
2. Adverb: [I will go _when_ it is possible].
_B._ Subordinate clauses may also be classified according to the
introductory word.
(_a_) Clauses introduced by _relative_ or _interrogative pronouns_: _who,
which, what, that_ (= who or which), _as_ (after such), and the compound
relatives, _whoever, whichever, whatever_ (the first three are both
relative and interrogative): [The school _that stands on the hillside_ is
painted white. I know _whom you_ mean].
(_b_) Clauses introduced by a relative or interrogative adjective: [The
man _whose library is well furnished_ is rich. I see _which way I ought to
take_].
(_c_) Clauses introduced by a relative or interrogative adverb, such as
_when, whenever, since_ (referring to time), _until, before, after, where,
whence, whither, wherever, why, as, how_: [I know the house _where lie
lives_].
(_d_) Clauses introduced by a subordinate conjunction, such as _because,
since_ (= because), _though, although, if, unless, that_ (= in order
that), _as, as if, as though, then_: [I will go _since you wish it_].
_C._ Subordinate clauses may also be classified according to the nature of
the thought expressed.
(_a_) General description: [The house, _which stands on the hill_, has a
fine view].
(_b_) Place: [The house _where he was born_ is torn down].
